Town Motto

So, you know the line from the song about New York Sinatra made famous.

"...If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere..."

I was talking to a woman at the bus stop this morning, and as our conversation progressed I asked her if she is from Baltimore originally. Long story short, the answer is no, but she's been here most of her life. So she asked me about my point of origin, which got me to talking about how much I love this town. That seemed to please her, and then she dropped the best line.

"As my daddy used to say, If you can't make it in Baltimore, you can't make it anywhere."

There it is, in a nutshell.
